It sounds likely that we will be asked to stock up on food

Well Maccy’s is out of the question, they are no good after a quarter of an hour.

I’ll admit, I’m a bit baffled. I sort off understand the good sense of it but it seems doomed to create panic buying.

It seems …

The reports come on the back of the European Union warning its citizens to [stockpile 72 hours’ worth of food in the event of war.

Okay … for starters,will my GP be prepared to write some extra prescriptions so I can stockpile my medication.
But if we’re only talking 72 hours … most folk probably have reserves for that long anyway.
If this is a Burnham Brainwave I’m starting to get anxious.

We just a got a huge load of groceries this afternoon so we are stocked up on food and wine. Not because Foxy suggested it - it’s because we have our lovely friends from Georgia (where my wife is from).

that reminds me of a little ditty.

Te Lord be praised
My belly raised
An inch above the table
And I’ll be damned
If I ain’t crammed
AS full as I am able

There’s a big difference between panic buying and making sensible and considered provision. Admittedly my own back up supplies need some attention, something I must attend to !
